WIP Wednesday: One Quilt Down. Back to Blocks.

Wednesday again! On Friday I was able to reveal a project I worked on for two weeks, the Marine Den baby quilt. It turned out so great, and I was able to gift it away on Saturday to the sweetest baby boy.

Although I'm about to have another secret quilt in the works, I'll be able to share it soon, in early May. For the time being, I have Rose Star block assembly keeping me busy. I'm trying so hard to do the design work ahead of time. Then I can really take advantage of hand piecing on the go during found time. Choosing fabrics is much harder for me than patiently sewing the pieces together. You, too, can make these. It's just a little English paper piecing. See Clare's tutorial here.

Claire, I love your finished baby quilt! It looks great, did you free motion quilt it? Great work on your blocks to swap, I love how bright they are with the light colors. I need to get to work on my blocks too!Keep up the great work!
